Unusual events in the tavern

[geckosquid]

Android's final sentence echoes through the reptilian brain of G. Squid, P.I. He first chuckles at the Shakespearean reference, then sits down and delves into its meaning. Something much more formidable than his own dying order and this new group of savages is on its way. A breeze sweeps in through the still swinging door to the tavern, and on it, he smells change. An old Dwarven tavern song plays through his head, and he begins to sing it under his breath...

There's
Change in the air
From no-one knows where
It seemed to sweep in without a care
Where'er it goes
Only He knows
That it's no reason to despair.
Though wars will be fought
And evil be wrought
We shouldn't give a second thought
To what it will do
To me and to you
There is no point in venturing there.
For we all trust
That our land must
Protect us in times of uncertainty
That time comes nigh
O'er mountains high
And dipping through valleys
Dodging between trees.

For we know that our lives are plain
So this change surely is a gain
We're cravin' some variety
So we'll spread our arms and welcome it, you see!

The economy's bad, but the crime rate is worse
And change is the only cure to this curse
To boot, we're running out of cheer
So I'd say change is welcome here.


Now, whenever change comes along, they say,
You feel it keep the same at bay
You hear the fight between change and old ways
And behold the battle rage night and day.

But, when that change
Comes avast
We know the past will never last
The change has come,
Old times are doooooone...
Now come a new age for everyone!

He shakes his head as the faintest wisp of a smile crosses his face. Promptly, he rises, drops a coin on the counter, tips his hat at the bartender, and leaves with all haste.
